Forgive me, O God,

O God, forgive me my sins,

            the sins of my youth,
            the sins of the present;
            the sins I laid upon myself in an ill pleasure,
            the sins I cast upon others in an ill example;
            the sins which are obvious to all the world,
            the sins which I have labored to hide from my companions,
                        from my own conscience,
                        and even my own memory;

            my crying sins and my whispering sins,
            my ignorant sins and my willful;
            sins against my superiors, equals, servants,
                        against my lovers and benefactors,
            sins against myself, my own body, my own soul;
            sins against you, O almighty God, O merciful Christ,
                        O blessed Spirit of God.

Forgive me, O God, forgive me all my sins;

Say to me, Child, be of good comfort,
                        your sins are forgiven
            in the merits of your Anointed,
                        my Savior Jesus Christ.   Amen
